Lubbock Outer Route - Phase 3

Phase 3 consists of the engineering and environmental studies. During this phase, the final alignments are presented for the preferred alignment. Studies are conducted to define environmental impacts to both the natural and human environment. Public input/comments are part of the public involvement process. Loop 88 is divided into four segments: Segment 1 and 2: US 84 (Shallowater) to US 62/82 (Wolfforth); Segment 3: US 62/82 (Wolfforth) to US 87 (South Lubbock); and Segment 4: US 87 (South Lubbock) to US 84 (Slaton).

During environmental studies for the project, TxDOT archeologists discovered prehistoric animal bones. Visit the Environmental Affairs Story Map to learn more about the discovery and about TxDOT’s field work Beyond The Road.
